Pro-tem Governor Jay McCleskey Gives his Friend (White) a Huge Contract

You heard it here first on the Eye. Our new Pro-tem Governor, Jay McCleskey, has been running the State by proxy and gave a huge contract to his friend, Darren White. Apparently, McCleskey will only allow the person we elected, Susana Martinez, to “call” herself Governor when in-fact McCleskey is running the show.

Our Eyes at the State told us about the contract that White was granted. White fled the City of Albuquerque in disgrace and now is under investigation by the City’s Inspector General and facing an inquiry and possible full blown investigation by the United States Department of Justice.

Our Eyes Claim that White’s contract is for $75,000.00 for six months. Do the math folks, that’s $150,000.00 per year to do; NOTHING! White’s other close friend, Dan Mourning, is in charge of Expo New Mexico where White will be stationed. Mr. Mourning appears to be a political appointee, only. Mourning has absolutely no experience in dealing with an enterprise of this magnitude. Mourning ran a hole in the wall restaurant in Albuquerque. What a deal, a multi-thousand dollar contract for another created position. White’s new position is just like the one White created for TJ Wilham, who also does nothing. Now Pro-tem Gov. McCleskey needs to send out contracts to the thousands of unemployed citizens in New Mexico and not the ones like Darren White. Every single New Mexican should be appalled by this entire scenario.

Governor Martinez needs to use her famed “Public Corruption Team” against McCleskey. We know that will never happen. Now that we have the God Father McCleskey in Santa-Fe running the State; the Eye is thinking that Big Bill’s team was a better choice. Governor Martinez, be sure you behave or McCleskey will have you cleaning toilets too.

The Republicans have become the cretins of New Mexico. The public is not going to forget this “Sham.” There is dirty politics and then there is filthy politics. This is a filthy set-up. How does the Governor sleep at night knowing that she is the floor mat for McCleskey to step on with his cleats and muddy shoes?

The Eye warned the Governor before:







Apparently the Governor doesn't learn...

Now Susana can go down in flames like Mayor Berry. The absolute lack of all integrity is unbelievable with these people. So much for a change in New Mexico politics with a republican Mayor in Albuquerque and a Republican Governor in Santa Fe. What a joke!

Anonymous said...

The governor has just lost her political future. White took down Berry now Governor Martinez. The only hope is for the governor to step up,fire McCluskey and cancel Whites contract. I voted for the governor thinking she was a no nonsense women that was going to take charge and clean up corruption in our state. Sad to say looks like she is just another politician.

If Annaliese Wiederspahn's release yesterday that is linked in the New Mexico Politics blog referring to bloggers that "wake up every morning to push rumor-based narratives to advance a bitter, personal agenda" is referring to me in posting the below facts on several blogs--she is mistaken they are rumor-based as I have the police report that was concealed and the court documents and the copies of the letters to Martinez requesting Martinez to charge Mattiace with perjury and correct the errors and Martinez remains silent. AND NOW A CUSHEE JOB FOR MATTIACE. Anybody that wants to dispute the facts needs to view the documents.
Yesterday's Post.
"This is yet another egregious example that shows we’re continuing to attract criminal elements to our state leadership.
Although, “The Eye is being told Senior Advisor to Governor Martinez, Jay McCleskey, arranged the whole set up behind the Governor’s back.” The actions of McCleskey are not any different than Governor Susana Martinez announcing recently that William “Bill” Mattiace was named deputy director of the New Mexico Border Authority.
Gov. Martinez covered Mattiace’s public bomb threat, a misplaced police report and perjury to a court of law as DA and now extends a favor to Mattiace. No different than McCleskey to White.
Enough to make a maggot puke!"

This crew is more corrupt than Richardson. Darren needed a job and Downs owner Paul Blanchard needed his racino license renewed. Enter Governor McCleskey and an unholy agreement was reached.

Because Blanchard was Richardon's BFF he needs to make Republican friends. Putting McCleskey's BFF on the payroll made the license renewal a done deal.

Blanchard bought himself a 25 year racino lease worth 100s of millions for less than pennies on the dollar. The days of pay to play are over?

Bwahahaha!!!

Hey Eye...you should spell McCleskey's name correctly in this blog post. Practically speaking, it's messing up the Google searches on him. We need to make sure each and every mention of him is correct so those people tracking him and Susana and Darren don't miss a beat!

It will only be a matter of time before Darren and his wife get themselves in trouble again...I say let him have this rope...it's going to be more then plenty to hang himself with.

As far as Martinez goes, she just lost ANY respect and any vote I had for her in the future. She is nothing more than a pathetic politician. NM is really disgusting me.

Besides all the obvious corruption here; why wasn't this 'Security consulting contract' sent out for bid? The seeking of this contract wasn't in the works like they say, it was a last minute concocted idea by McClesky & Mourning to award this POS a contract because he's broke and Dan owes Darren big for his EXPO job. Otherwise he'd be out in the street as well since his restaurant, Capos went in the shitter.
The ink isn't even dry on his Biz license yet.
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CAPABLE SECURITY COMPANIES IN ALBUQUERQUE THINK OF THIS CONTRACT. OH, I FORGOT; THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T NOTIFIED AS THERE WAS NO RFP.

Anonymous said...

Ok Darren, keep playing with matches sir. The longer you hang around and persist in your scamming ways, remember this. There about 100 people out to bring you down. These are people with power, influence and money on both sides of the political fence.
It would behoove both you and Kathleen to leave New Mexico permanently, as it only a matter of time that you both wind up directly behind the eight ball.
The evidence is there and the puzzle is coming together very quickly.

Darren's contract is with the Downs of Albuquerque, not with the state.

You all KEEP saying there are people that will bring Darren, Ray, & Berry down, but nothing comes of it. They broke the law awarding a contract without a RFP. Certainly the DOJ would be interested in the continued corruption now incorporated into the state gov't. Wow, I wouldn't brag about being Republican if these are the folks that are considered conservative right wing. They are just below child molesters in my book.

Anonymous said...

Seriously, is this for real?

This is a blatant F.U. to ethics, morality, and honesty and taxpayers.
Oh, I forgot, look who we're dealing with.
Whether you want to say the Downs is separate from The State of NM or not, the fact remains, that Darren didn't go on a honest to goodness job hunt and just happen to find this job. The deal was struck before he even applied for a business license and the two entities are tied together as one.
What's worse is that Susana will take the hit in a big way for this really questionable move my Jay McCleskey, Darren and Mourning.
Isn't it great; we replace loser Roger 'porky' Biemer with a couple more losers. One failed business man (Purina Capos restaurant)and one disgraced city employee just turned business man 72 hours ago.
The land of opportunity and hard work is what we teach our children right? What example by supposedly upstanding people is this to follow.
"Screw your neighbor" "lie,cheat, Steal" "do unto others, before they do it to you" "It's only wrong, if you're caught"
These are words Darren White lives by.
HOW AND WHY DO WE STAND FOR THIS?
ANYONE?

Why do they do things like this in plain sight with no fear of consequences; for the same reason a dogs lick their balls; BECAUSE THEY CAN, and, because we let them.

So who is going to save the people from the tyrants,if the people aren't even willing to save themselves?

Talk is cheap because the supply far exceeds the demand.

Anonymous said...

What happens when it is discovered that Darren is found guilty of some serious wrong doings?
I'm sorry, McCleskey , you are a fool to have made this deal right in the middle of several investigations that could reveal some really bad stuff about Darren. How will it make the Governor look. She made him resign from the Judicial Review Board because of his questionable ethics right?
This is an amateurish move, one that will keep you from ever working a national campaign. Big risk pal.

Anonymous said...

FANS; what is your opinion of this?

Anonymous said...

This was not a state contract. It was given to White by the Downs, which is a PRIVATE company.

If you want to continue to attack White and criticize the Downs for hiring him, have at it.

But it is 100% false to claim that Governor Martinez or anyone with her administration had anything to do with giving White this contract.

Why is no Security company yelling foul yet.
there is supposed to be at least an attempt to put out an RFP for these things. Suppose I'm the owner of a security company like Akal, been doing it for 25 years, have a good reputation, worked hard to build a business all these years, then loose a consulting contract to a punk ass guy like Darren White, who's business licenses ink isn't even dry yet.
This is politics at its worst, yet EVERY GD politician will get up in front of a crowed and shout from the highest mountain, "I'm for ETHICS REFORM" and then pull this kind of crap. Sorry politicians that are associated with these cretins, you will loose your races and blame McCleskey and White when you go home in defeat on election night.If you hold office now, stand up an oppose this fraudulent contract awarded to Darren White.
This is a disgrace. he is a disgrace and an embarrassment to our state.

How great is life? Pretty damn great I tell you. It's not very often that a person gets to see the most hated man in NM fall not once, but TWICE! Darren, start getting your affairs in order BABE, cuz you are in for the surprise of your life in the very near future. I hope you look good in orange...you will be sporting the jumpsuit here soon enough. It's really unfortunate they do not allowed married couples share a jail cell....or even stay in the same prison. Peaches isn't going to fair very well in a place like prison. Oh well, you reap what you sew.

Anonymous said...

To the "it's not a state contract" crowd, could you be any more obvious?!?

We get it. McCleskey wanted to get Darren a job but needed to protect his golden goose Susana. So he begged a Richardson bag man to cut a deal.

Darren White's dirty deal with Blanchard may not be a state contract but it's still cronyism and corruption.

Credit to Blanchard. He can buy Democrat or Republican politicians/streetwalkers whenever he needs to.

And we wonder why the country is bankrupt.

Wow - the Gov's office is getting pretty creative in their dealings with corruption, bribery and dirty politics. Please, all you Republican's should really quit with she knows nothing, she sees nothing, she hears nothing. We know she is soooo... focused on the drivers license for illegal immigrants issue. Maybe, McCleskey will have her deported as the news reported her ancestors came here illegally also. By her rules, the rest of the family following that needs to go back to Mexico. What a hypocrite. Really take her ethics speech seriously now. Go back to Mexico Susanna you are just one rung above drug cartels by contributing to help this POS White!

Mr T J French has the answers. There is so much more than Peaches' texts to Erika, her propensity for drugs and alcohol, and being driven home for a while prior to seeking medical care after driving her car over the curb. Huge coverup everywhere you turn. The local FBI And DEA agents will never disclose anything and that is the reason this entire debacle continues.

Can I go get a biz license and then go out and land a fat juicy contract, lets say, administrator at Sandia Labs, or lets say security consulting for the airport. I know I want,I want,I want.
No I can't just have or get granted a contract like that. There are many out there with years of experience at this yet the cronyism at the State , Expo, the Downs has put this individual with NOT impeccable credentials in this post but one of extremely questionable ethics and very low moral standards.
This is an incredible slap in the face to those that are experts in their field; that being security.

NOBODY, would ever award a contract or even give a job to me or you if we had this huge cloud of uncertainty hanging over our head. On one hand we have an individual who resigned under pressure in disgrace. One investigation already complete where it was found he did some wrong,he is currently under investigation by IG, the 'Tru Touch'( great train robbery) is still under great suspicion, which the states Attorney General should look into, and many , many other wrong doings as well. He's being found incompetent by every agency he has headed (appointed to) State Police, APD, BCSO. Is this an individual that should be granted a contract such as this, because the powers that be think he should, because he's dead broke? Take the contract prick, but this too will be short lived and then what? What stinking deal will those in power have to give you next so that you can continue your feeding off the taxpayers. Go get a real job. Better yet pack up your PEACH stand and leave New Mexico. FREAK(ing) leech.

Anonymous said...

The Democratic Party should lean on Gary King to get to the bottom of the 'Tru-Touch' scandal, and prosecute accordingly.
There was nepotism, kickbacks, campaign contributions to Darren's congressional campaign and Heather Wilson's as well. Don't forget that cozy relationship. (and that's why she will loose)

DNC, put this in high gear and rid this vermin from political power here and any where else.
All citizens and taxpayer in New Mexico will benefit.
We are in a time of high unemployment, extremely bad economic times, and if there were ever a time that we should be cutting back, it is now, starting with rescinding this silly 'going no where', accomplishing nothing contract for Darren White; the biggest, wealthiest welfare recipient in New Mexico.

"We the people" they could give a shit about the people. They are in power and the responsibility to remove them is up us., Yes, but do we just put back the same people with the same moral code? Most likely.
In the meantime, this contract should be stopped dead in it's tracks. If Darren wasn't so desperate to get a job and keep his wife in the life style she is accustom,(pills, leased Porche) this position, job, contract wouldn't even be a consideration. WE JUST CREATED IT just for Darren & Peaches, so they don't have to live in an apartment or card board box, which I would gladly piss on.

Too many people are investigating Darren White, going all the way back to his stint at Fort Sam Houston,(Army air borne-right) to the short stint at Houston PD. Those two short tenures are going to reveal some things for sure.
Why did he leave the area? Why did he come here? What did he really do at APD. Know body really knows, except for his cheating on the Sergeants exam and banging whores while on DWI unit.
There's much more that's hiding out in this man's closet and the public is going to find out soon enough. There's also more to the capos/ peaches saga as well.

The FANS are supporters of APD. Darren White is no longer employed with the city. As far as our page is concerned, we have nothing to say.

Whenever the IG is finished with his investigation, we will report on that.

Dear poster, the cat never has our tongue.

Did you fools miss the albuquerrque journal story yesterday TRASHING the democrats for attacking the governor on this?

The journal reported that it was FALSE to say white had a state contract, or that the governor had anything to do with it. They reported that it is a PRIVATE contract and very short-term.

The fact that this lie is still being pushed after it has been completely discredited is pathetic.

I know everyone wants to jump on the drive Darren out of town bandwagon. I too have questions about his actions at the accident and at the press conference. That said I think everyone in law enforcement should remember that it was Darren White, not the AWOl APD police chief, who stood up for Todd Parkins family.

Darren has done some good things.

Doesn't he own his own business? I'm not putting anyone down, I just don't understand the conflict here. Seems fishy.

It is easy to get instructions on how to commit suicide and make it look accidental, how to kill someone and make it look like suicide or an accident - CSI and other TV shows make us think the labs are something out of the future. Cases are not easily solved, especially when pros are involved
